With December being the peak hiring period many openings are coming up so many organisations are hiring but your CV and cover letter maybe holding you back. You have invested heavily in your education, don't allow a poorly done CV deny you your lifelong career dream.
🚫 Top Things to Avoid on Your CV 🚫
Your CV is your first impression — make it count! Here are some common mistakes that can cost you interview opportunities 👇
1️⃣ Spelling & Grammar Errors – Always proofread. Recruiters notice small mistakes.
2️⃣ Unprofessional Email Address – Use a simple format like firstname.lastname@email.com.
3️⃣ Too Much Personal Information – Skip details like ID number, religion, or marital status.
4️⃣ Lengthy CVs – Keep it concise (1–3 pages is ideal).
5️⃣ Generic Career Objective – Replace it with a tailored Professional Summary.
6️⃣ Listing Duties Only – Focus on achievements and measurable results instead.
7️⃣ Fancy Fonts & Graphics – Keep it clean, ATS-friendly, and professional.
8️⃣ Using “Curriculum Vitae” as a Heading – Start with your name instead — it looks more polished.
9️⃣ Irrelevant Experience – Only include what supports your current career goals.
🔟 No Keywords – Use job-specific terms so your CV passes ATS scans.
💡 Pro Tip: Your CV should not just tell what you did, but how well you did it.
